More photos, less shadows, and completely but carefully disassemble it checking for numbers on pins, hold-open device, grip panels, etc. Photos of front and back grip straps that show blue wear, side plate, muzzle wear, etc. Bore condition?
But after all that I'll probably stay in that $ range anyway. Bottom line is that it is worth exactly what someone will pay you for it, no more and no less. Check out completed auctions on GunBroker.com. Most collecters will give nothing extra for the re-pop. holster, and it will be priced out of the range for shooters.
What damage or wear are you seeing, and what do you know about its history? I can't see that it is refinished. What do you know about it? Any bring-back papers or other documentation?
